Enteral consumables market leader prepared for new ISO at Arab Health

GBUK Ltd, one of the UK’s market leaders in enteral consumables, will be showcasing its range of products that have been prepared for the new Enteral ISO directive, at Arab Health 2015.

GBUK Ltd will head to Dubai for Arab Health 2015 where they will be located at Stand Z1G57 in the Za’beel Hall, and will exhibit its products including enteral syringes, nasogastric tubes and dilators – all available with the new connector.

In an effort to improve patient safety, new international design standards for medical device tubing connectors will be released from early 2015 as part of a phased global initiative.

GBUK has already developed its range of products to meet the requirements of the new ISO standard for connectors and ensure its customers are prepared well in advance of the change.

Marcus Ineson, GBUK Ltd Group Marketing Director, said: “GBUK is well advanced in its preparation for the new ISO directive in the enteral market – which means our customers and their end-users will also be well prepared, and ultimately meaning enhanced patient safety.

“GBUK has played a key role on an international planning committee to help raise awareness of the new directive, working with healthcare professionals and patient organisations from across the globe. We’re now looking to bring that expertise to customers, clinicians and patients across the Middle East.”

“At Arab Health we are looking to meet new distributors and expand our range in to a growing market which demands the highest quality from its medical products.”
